Welcome to Utopia...

.. if you're into rants about toys new and oldish.

The Sweet Smell of Success!

You know how it is here - one day, it's stuff from Japan, fresh off the market, and other day's its more retrospective. Today definitely...

The Milkshake!

So a few weeks ago, I came across two Queen's Gate statues. Unlike the mainline releases, these statues were all 1/8 and released by...

Frontal Impact Protection

So I generally have gotten out of the high end statue game, as prices are really not that friendly and I'm OK admiring from afar. When I...

I've never really gotten into the 1/6 TBLeague releases. Usually it's cost, but also, there's the matter of subject matter, whether it be...

BATO-MAAAAANNN!

Batman Ninja the anime, as far as I can tell, didn't do particularly well. In fact, it might be the least liked animated Batman property,...
